Seven & I Premium

Evening Land Vineyards

Seven Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

I really like what Evening Land does in general and their Pinots in particular. Lovely nose with some good cherry. Balanced mouthfeel with good dark red fruit and some nice herby notes. Acid is medium but works well to hold it together and the persistence is good. Really quite enjoyable. — 5 months ago

Seven Springs Vineyard Chardonnay 2017

Great QPR. Slightly reduced, which I am into style-wise. — 4 years ago

Bass Phillip

Premium Chardonnay 2013

It was interesting to compare this top Australian Chardonnay with the Dry River from New Zealand. A similar age and similar price. Straw yellow plus in colour. The nose is more citric than stone fruit with a note of roasted nuts. On the palate baked lemon with a noticeable saline note. Medium acid. Subtly. different to the Dry River - the Bass Phillip is slightly more fulsome but overall not much in it. I would call it a dead heat at 95 points each. Both are excellent. — 4 years ago

@Ron R When I first started buying Bass Phillip over 20 years ago, Chardonnay was not offered. From memory they’ve been offered for only about 12 years but that’s a guess. The Premium Chardonnay comes from only an acre of vines.

Vinos de Arganza

Flavium Premium Bierzo Mencía 2008

Deep ruby color with a garnet rim; cherries, strawberries, and something floral on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like tart cherries, black pepper, pomegranates, and crushed gravel with a long fruity finish. I love this wine! — a year ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1994

Bucket-list Dominus dinner at Next in Chicago with Christian Moueix and seven vintages of Dominus. I poured a glass for Monsieur Moueix and had him sign the bottle. Wine was absolutely singing at 28 years old… still medium deep purple with resolved tannins and expected sediment. Bravo Christian… and thank you for your efforts. — 3 years ago

La Source Seven Springs Vineyard Chardonnay 2016

Excellent Chardonnay. It is from Oregon- not a place I usually pick Chardonnay from. Lots of oak and fruit. Had with baked chicken. — 5 years ago

Bass Phillip

Premium Gippsland Pinot Noir 2013

Light to mid Ruby in appearance - partly transparent. Raspberries, Strawberries and Cherries with spicy notes. A sweeter palate than normal with M+ intensity. Good power and drive. After a few hours still quite sweet. As I said in a previous note grapes obviously picked late to achieve ultra ripeness. Returning later - a dried red. Cherry aroma. — 2 years ago

Seven Hills Winery

Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Beautiful eucalyptus and rose good on the nose.
More I the body, some more minty tones, exceptional cab fruit, powdery tannins, solidly integrated acidity. Blind tasted you would think this is a Cali valley wine.

Long Shadows Vintners

Pedestal Columbia Valley Merlot 2015

I think I bought about a half dozen of these with the intent they would all last until at least 10 years post vintage. Man was I wrong! This is a really good value Merlot. It is not the best merlot are you will ever experience, but it has A soft front, brambley middle, good acidity, and goes with a variety of foods. Still finishes with a little bit of astringency so I think this one will probably continue evolving over the next five to seven years. Asking for donations to be able to verify that statement ;) — 5 years ago
